Ingredients
-
3 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (about 4 cups of mango chunks)
-
1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk (or coconut cream for a creamier texture)

-
Pinch of salt (optional, to enhance flavor)
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
-
Prepare the mangoes: Peel and chop the mangoes into small chunks. You should have about 4 cups of chopped mango.
-
Blend the ingredients: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the mango chunks, coconut milk, maple syrup (if using), lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything is blended evenly.
-
Freeze the mixture: Pour the mango mixture into a loaf pan or any container that fits into your freezer. Spread it out evenly with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid.
-
Freeze: Place the container in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until the sorbet is firm enough to scoop. If you want a firmer texture, you can freeze it overnight.
-
Serve: Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping to make it easier to serve. Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to dish out the sorbet into bowls or cones.
